Score 94/100 · Drink 2020-2027, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Feb 2021

The 2018 Chardonnay Lolita Ranch has pure aromas of roasted almonds, saline, white peaches and honeysuckle with an underlying mineral character. The palate is satiny, seamlessly fresh and transparent, with bright, citrusy fruits at this youthful stage and a long, mineral-driven finish. 193 cases produced.

The 2018 Chardonnay Lolita Ranch is bright and effusive. It offers terrific freshness and aromatic presence, despite being the warmest Martinelli Chardonnay site. All the elements are so nicely balanced in this understated, beautifully persistent Chardonnay. Time in the glass really allows the layers to open up. Lemon confit, almond and chamomile linger on the creamy finish.

About the producer

martinelli
Martinelli

Martinelli is a Sonoma benchmark for vineyard-designate bottlings—wines built to highlight how strongly a single site can shape Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Zinfandel. Across the range, the focus stays consistent: small-production bottlings that feel distinctly tied to where they’re grown.
